Reinstatement Services for Commercial Property at Seah Street

Project Overview

This commercial reinstatement project entailed the meticulous restoration of a commercial space to comply with end-of-lease requirements. Our scope of work focused on comprehensive commercial property reinstatement and general painting and touch-up services. The property previously featured partition walls, false ceilings, and commercial fittings—all of which were removed to return the space to a clean, neutral condition suitable for the next tenant or property owner.

The project required attention to detail, minimal disruption to surrounding units, and full adherence to building and safety regulations. From dismantling interior structures to performing surface patching and repainting, every step was carried out with precision. Our reinstatement services also included minor touch-ups and painting work, ensuring a presentable finish in line with handover standards.

Our team ensured that the property met reinstatement guidelines and was delivered on time with a high standard of workmanship—an outcome that aligns with the quality and reliability that HackingSG is known for.

Technical Challenges

1. Removal of Interior Fixtures and Ceilings

The dismantling of interior fittings such as partition walls and false ceilings required careful execution to avoid damaging the surrounding structure. The team had to manage debris, maintain cleanliness throughout the worksite, and ensure that adjacent units remained unaffected during the process.

2. Surface Restoration and Painting

Post-removal, our team conducted patching and touch-up painting on walls, ceilings, and other exposed areas. Matching existing paint tones and ensuring a uniform finish required skill and attention to detail, especially in a commercial space expected to be handed over in presentable condition.

3. Maintaining Safety and Accessibility

Due to ceiling work, scaffolding was installed to access higher elevations safely. Safety compliance was crucial throughout the project, especially given the absence of pre-installed netting or hoarding in the initial space. This called for controlled execution and continuous safety monitoring on-site.

4. End-of-Lease Compliance

Strict adherence to the reinstatement standards provided by building management was required. Every reinstatement and touch-up activity had to match agreed handover specifications, which included complete removal of tenant-installed fixtures, seamless wall repairs, and spotless repainting.

Project Considerations

Safety Measures

The team followed strict safety protocols throughout the project. This included the safe setup of scaffolding for ceiling work, use of personal protective equipment, and secure containment of the work area. These precautions ensured worker safety and compliance with industry standards.

Protection of Non-Demolition Areas

To avoid unintentional damage to permanent fixtures and surrounding areas, we installed temporary protective coverings such as plastic sheets and drop cloths. This was crucial for maintaining cleanliness and safeguarding unaffected parts of the property during reinstatement.

Flexible Scheduling

Work was scheduled outside of business hours to reduce disruption to neighboring units and businesses within the building. This flexibility allowed our team to operate efficiently while respecting the needs of the building's other occupants.

Seamless Handover Readiness

By delivering a fully reinstated space—including thorough patching and general touch-up painting—the project was prepared for smooth inspection and handover. Our attention to compliance helped the client avoid delays and penalties associated with reinstatement obligations.

Results

The completed reinstatement work successfully restored the commercial property to its original pre-tenancy condition. Partition walls, ceiling features, and other custom fittings were removed, and all surfaces were patched and repainted where necessary. The space was left clean, neutral, and compliant with building guidelines—ready for a new tenant.

Our team’s professional approach and strong project management ensured timely delivery without compromising on quality. HackingSG continues to deliver dependable commercial reinstatement services, and this project at Seah Street stands as a clear example of our capabilities and commitment to excellence.
